THE
AMERICAN PRESIDENT
Columbia, 1995
featured in the Guess Who What When &
Where Trivia BookSlick,
entertaining Hollywood concoction about a widowed president who's attracted to a lobbyist
and decides to pursue her -- naively ignoring the political impact this liason may have
during an election year. Appealing performances and a bright screenplay (by Aaron Sorkin)
help this likable movie glide along past its considerable gaps in credibility. This is the
ultimate wish-fulfillment movie, with a president who's handsome, funny, forthright,
decisive, and honest. If only!
